Suitelet to trigger a client script and redirect back to the Suitelet on save

Question

EDIT 1: The code client has been edited to include the resolve url suggestion

This is a follow on from Trigger a client script on a button clicked on a Suitelet?

That was answered and now I am getting stuck with another part of the script. I have posted this on the Netsuite Community too though the response I have received there is making me more confused.

Apologies in advance if I have the StackOverflow posting etiquette/rules wrong in terms of follow up posting or cross posting.

Scenario: There is a Suitelet with a button which results in a custom record page being loaded in edit mode. Field values are set on the custom record using the client script that is triggered when the button on the suitelet is clicked.

The custom record

Everything is working as expected until it gets to the function saveRecord part of the client script.

I am trying to get the page to redirect back to the suitelet after the record is saved though cannot get this to work.

So far, I have tried adding in the N/redirect module into the client script and used the following :

    function saveRecord(context) {
        redirect.redirect({
        url: '/app/site/hosting/scriptlet.nl?script=313&deploy=1',
       
    });
    
        return true;
      }

The suitelet is available without login.

I have also tried

     function saveRecord(context) {
        window.open(
          "https://tstdrv.app.netsuite.com/app/common/custom/custrecordentry.nl?rectype=143&id=1&e=f"
        );
    
        return true;
      }

The record is definitely saving though its not redirecting back to the Suitelet.

EDIT This is the Suitelet script in full that works:

Answer 1

Try this -

var suiteletURL = "https://tstdrv.app.netsuite.com/app/common/custom/custrecordentry.nl?rectype=143&id=1&e=f";
window.open(suiteletURL, '_self', false);

If this doesn't work, you can also use url.resolveScript API under N/url module in your ClientScript.

var suiteletURL = url.resolveScript({
   scriptId: 'custom_script',
   deploymentId: 'custom_script_deployment'
});

window.open(suiteletURL, '_self', false);

Also, instead of adding this to SaveRecord in ClientScript, you can add this towards the end of your executeRecurring function.

Give this a try. Let me know in comments below.
